Scott Hall, Leeds

Scott Hall, Leeds

Scott Hall is a suburb of north Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, adjacent to Chapeltown and Meanwood. It is made up largely of council housing and has an industrial past, with a number of disused factories to the west in Meanwood Valley.

The A61 road between Leeds and Harrogate is the main thoroughfare known as Scott Hall Road.

The cul-de-sac Scott Hall Square suffered increasing levels of burglary and other crimes from the mid-90s. The situation eventually became so severe that the city council decided to purchase and demolish all houses in the street.

Two of the Yorkshire Ripper's victims lived just a few doors from each other in Scott Hall Avenue. They were his first victim, Wilma McCann, and his fifth, Jayne MacDonald.
